    Comments Thread For: Lucian Bute: I'm Better, Stronger, Faster Than Carl Froch!

    LUCIAN BUTE says he will beat the boo-boys to triumph over Carl Froch in his own backyard tomorrow night.

    Canadian Bute defends his IBF world super-middleweight title against Froch in front of a hostile crowd at Nottingham’s Capital FM Arena.

    He knows he will be jeered and booed throughout by the partisan capacity crowd, but said: “I will turn it all to my advantage.”

      No he isn't, Bika and Miranda punch harder.

        I agree, IMO he beats Carl but the memory of the Andrade knockdwn lingers & a lesser experienced ref, or a ref that lost his composure, would have continued the count & Bute would've lost...this ref did the correct thing but the point was Bute was down by a boxer w/far less skills in Andrade...

          What makes you think that? Neither have ever knocked out anybody above journeyman status. I don't think they have dropped anybody of note ever.
          Miranda may well hit harder but Bika certainly doesn't.

            Journeyman or not, Bika has one punch K.O power. How long has it been since Froch K.O'd someone with one punch? Froch has good power and that's it.

              Froch tends to wear guys down from an accumulation of shots. But if you put those sort of guys Bika's knocked out against Froch he'd do the same thing & often did earlier in his career.

              Froch has the power to rock, drop & K.O elite level fighters, Bika doesn't and never has IMO

              Not implying Bika can't crack but I think Froch hits quite a bit harder personally & when Glen Johnson says you hit hard it stands for something.

                The last time Bika got a K.O was in 2009 vs Nestor Casanova a guy who had already been K.Oed 9 times going into the fight.

                The last time Froch got a K.O was also in 2009 vs a former world champion in Taylor.

                Name one of Frochs last 7 opponents that you would feel confident of Bika stopping? Froch has been consistently fighting the best of course that is going to effect his K.O percentage. Not only has Froch fought the better opposition consistently he has a better K.O ratio, you don't really have an argument.

                  Bute is an excellent fighter but he was KO'd by Andrade and that will always give Froch a chance.

                    Froch hit Ward flush dirtily after the bell rang in one round in thier fight and it didn't put a dent on Wards face. I reiterate Froch has good not great power. Ward even said Bika and I quote "is his toughest fight to this date". The reason why has a lot to do with the power Bika has.

                    Who would know better YOU the armchair fan or Ward?
